Custom Buttons in VB.NET - .NET Framework

Hello, I need to create my own custom buttons in vb.net 2005 (I created the graphics in photoshop) . I don't want to use Pictureboxes, I just wanted a button, but don't want it to be rectangle, you got what I mean.

How to do this? if you know any articles about it please tell me.

Q2: What if I want to create a button such as the "Close" button, my Form doesn't have a close button because I want to create it by myself. How can I make a close button without passing on it when the user moves between the buttons using "Tab"

Thanks

I assume that you could use your image and give it a click event. Not sure what you mean by the last part of q2.

I know how to do this, I used it before. But I don't want to use an image because it's slower than the button, I tested this several times, it takes like a second before the function is executed.

plus, when it's an image, if you put your mouse over it you can't change the picture, sometimes users will not figure out this is a button. Got what I mean.

Still not getting it - I have swapped images on a mouseover lots of times. What was your methodology for testing image versus button onclick?

You can create a NewButtonType control inherites Button type.

For the second question, my suggestion is
-Have a variable to keep the current keypressed value.
-In CloseButton.GotFocus():
Check if CurrentKeypressed is 'Tab', then Set TabIndex = next index and exit.
